<p>Ok here goes. Open discussion on which is better, all factors included (Not just academics and job placement). State position and reasons. I am not taking a stance, yet...</p>
<p>both are well recruited on The Street, but I’d bet that UMich would carry more weight in the midwest, plus it has a much better sports tradition, state college feel, etc. If I were you, I’d go to Ross, especially since the weather in NYC is probably not that much better than Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>Who cares. The world is ending in 2012 anyway.</p>
<p>That’s fine, I’ll still be able to attend for two years sp1212. What’s your stance?</p>
<p>If ur hell bent on getting a job on wall street stern would be ur best bet , especially for finance. If u prefer having a traditional college experience then michigan.
Both will get u a good job if u are willing to work hard so its not a big deal.
the only BAD thing i can think about michigan is that ur not guaranteed a place in ross (even if ur a pre admit u have to satisfy some reqs).</p>
<p>Go to each uni’s forums and sites and find out for urself which one would be a better match for you! good luck :)</p>
<p>Btw if you are a michigan state resident then DEFINITELY michgan!</p>
<p>Nope Washington. Dude I’m totally feelin’ NYU then for the finance program.</p>
<p>Besides, what is the “Traditional” college experience?</p>
<p>Think about it. Michigan is about 8-9K cheaper than NYU if you’re out of state at UM. Would you really want to pay that much more for Stern, which is as good as Ross? (I actually think Ross is a little better, but that’s debatable).</p>
<p>^ Actually, if you consider cost of living NYU is gonna be a lot more expensive. That being said, this is a life decision. You will likely do well as a graduate of either school. I would be more concerned with “fit” and the school that will give you the most rewarding 4 years.</p>
<p>Personally, I would choose Michigan due to the great college experience it offers, but that is really an individual decision.</p>
<p>I guess if it came down to cost, Umich makes sense. That being said I have heard Ross is tougher to get into than Stern. Who would shell out more financial aid money?</p>
<p>FA aside, a undergrad degree from Ross holds a higher value in the corporate world than one of Stern’s. Ross got its own building last year, top-notch facilities, etc. Get your BBA at Ross.</p>
<p>Just as a correction, Ross has had it’s own building(s)for years. They just built a new one to replace the old main building. It’s beautiful too I might add.</p>
<p>I think that, overall, Michigan-Ross is superior to NYU-Stern albeit only slightly. </p>
<p>I believe it’s what McKinsey thinks as well.</p>
<p>Just adding in that Stern is almost done rebuilding the Stern building and it should be done by this fall.</p>
<p>When I went to visit they were still constructing but the rooms that were finished looked amazing.</p>
<p>IMO, go with which ever one will be the better fit. Both will give you great opportunities.</p>
<p>If you want college sports and the traditional experience go to UMich.
If you want to hang out in NYC go to NYU.</p>
<p>McKinsey is the top consulting firm right? How do the Finance programs compare? I’ve always heard great things about NYU’s Finance program, though Ross seems to be better overall.</p>
<p>There is no distinction between Stern and Ross. Both are excellent business schools. At the undergraduate level, Stern is generally considered #2 in Finance and Ross is generally considered #3 in Finance. And Wall Street placements are impresive from both programs. Stern may be more ideally situated, but with close to 600 students per graduating class, most of whom (over 70%) wish to work on Wall Street, the competition for IBanking jobs is very stiff. Ross only has 350 students per graduating class, far fewer of which (40% or so) wish to work on Wall Street. All things considered, both programs have their strengths and weaknesses, but differentiating between them is an exercise in futility.</p>
<p>The main distinction is the universities and environments that those two programs are part of. Overall, Michigan is slightly more well rounded academically (top Engineering and Science programs to go along with its top Business, Humanities and Social Science departments) and probably has a slightly stronger reputation in academe. NYU is no slouch though, with heavy weight programs such as Business, Economics, Law, Mathematics and Philosophy. </p>
<p>The environment at those two schools is totally different. Michigan has a more “traditional” campus feel. That means the campus is more well defined, more students live on campus, activities revolved around students, more active school spirit and alumni loyalty/envolvement, more student clubs and on-campus activities and more popular and prominant college sports. NYU obviously has all of the above, but not to the same extent as Michigan. Also, Ann Arbor truly loves the university and caters to its students. NYC does not have such a bond with NYU.</p>
<p>On the other hand, NYC is one of the World’s four great cities (London, Paris and Tokyo being the other three). The amount of cultural, artistic (both visual and performance), political, intellectual and social offerings is simply unmatched in North America. </p>
<p>It boils down to preference. Ross = Stern, so just go for “fit”.</p>
<p>My son is preferred admit to Ross as a freshmen and we are in state…he was admited to other top private schools but he is going to U of M. One things these silly arguements don’t mention is the relative cost. Stern or Wharton would be $220,000 over 4 years , but Ross will be $90,000. A top private would have put us and him in considerable debt and now, being a smart “business student” he can graduate with no debt.</p>
<p>And also gets to learn in a beautifull new building, and the rankings should keep going up for Ross.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I will make that 10, namely: NY, London, Paris, Tokyo, L.A., Hong Kong, San Francisco and Singapore, Shenzhen and Seoul. :D</p>
<p>COA for both schools (not including living expenses) will be similar unless you live in instate. If you do reside in Michigan, then UMich will be much cheaper than most private schools. If not, then base your decision on fit.</p>
<p>In the US, I would put Chicago above LA or San Francisco as a “World City”. However, neither one of those three cities come close to London, NYC, Paris or Tokyo. I have never been to Hong Kong, Seoul, Shenzhen or Singapore, so I cannot speak to those.</p>

<p>Not true.</p>
<p>NYU cost of attendance per term - $20,072.
Cost per year - $20,072 x 2 = $40,144
[NYU</a> > Office of the Bursar > Tuition/Fees > Fall and Spring > Leonard N. Stern School of Business (Undergraduate)](<a href=“Tuition”>Tuition)</p>
<p>Ross cost of attendence per year - $35,946
[Stephen</a> M. Ross School of Business](<a href=“Michigan Ross | University of Michigan's Ross School of Business”>Michigan Ross | University of Michigan's Ross School of Business)</p>
<p>That’s roughly a $4,000 difference in just tuition and fees, not accounting for an even greater difference in living expenses. And why shouldn’t you consider living expenses? For schools that are the same in quality it doesn’t make sense to pay more for one over the other, unless of course you absolutely love NYU over Michigan.</p>
